CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Typically when putting the kids to bed it is easy to let her do the bed time reading when I know I should share the responsibility.  Recently reading the daily devotional 4128-uncommen-being-better-husbands-and-fathers-daily it mentioned that kids who are read to by dad, according to a study by Harvard University researchers, have better-developed language skills than kids who were read to by mom.   It goes to show that easy way is not always the best way.

Waffle house shared afterwards that reading to his kids (oldest is 16) is still an extremely rewarding experience!

I spent several hours on Thursday looking through pictures and videos from the past 5-10 years.

  • Epiphany #1: There were always more people surrounding me in community than I realized during that period of life.
  • Epiphany #2: There was always more joy than I realized during that period of life.

New personal goal: Shorten the time gap between the Present Moment and the Moment of Realization.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We often worry about the details of our day, about possible mistakes or threats, or about getting things perfect or “right.”  Such worries can actually hurt our performance.  Try reading a chapter from a book where you must remember every word you read.  You can get so caught up in the memorization that you lose the message the author is trying to convey.  When we worry about details, about getting things right, about possible mistakes, we not only hamper our performance but we lose focus on the glory of God’s world that is right there in front of us.  Jesus told us to leave our worries to God.  Focus on God and His glory, not on worries.

Discipline. Discipline may be your best friend if you can incorporate into your character. Discipline is about doing. Thinking of course is important, but until action is taken, nothing will get done. Personally, I am trying to wake up at 4:30 a.m. every morning, whether or not I am working out. Additionally, I am trying to work ahead of my classes, even if there are no assignments due or open. In the words of Jocko Willink “Do.” If you want to read more about discipline, check out Jocko Willink’s book “Discipline is Freedom” You can also listen to it on iTunes.
MOLESKIN:
I LOVE getting out there with you lads. Even if I am miserable. Let us charge headlong into the winter!! Additionally, let’s keep praying for Proton and his family. Bless up!
